Mechanothermally induced conformational switch of a porphyrin dimer in a polymer film
(2016-06-07)Stretching a polymer film induces a conformational change (from the twisted to planar state) in the embedded porphyrin dimer, as evidenced by steady-state and time-resolved emission spectra. -
Spectroscopic differentiation between monomeric and aggregated forms of BODIPY dyes: effect of 1,1-dichloroethane
(2016-07-14)1,1-Dichloroethane induces a monomer-aggregate equilibrium of common BODIPY dyes in organic solvents at low µM dye concentrations, thus providing an opportunity to study monomeric, aggregate-free forms of BODIPY dyes. -
Role of the transition metal in Grignard metathesis polymerization (GRIM) of 3-hexylthiophene
(2013-09-09)Regioregular poly(3-alkylthiophene)s are widely used in organic electronics applications such as solar cells and field effect transistors. Nickel, palladium, and platinum diphenylphosphinoethane complexes were tested as ... -
General synthesis of P-stereogenic compounds: the menthyl phosphinate approach
(2016-07-13)Easily prepared menthyl phosphinates of high diastereoisomeric purity provide versatile intermediates for the synthesis of P-stereogenic compounds. Previous efforts starting about fifty years ago have been hampered by a ... -
Differences in predictions of ODE models of tumor growth: A cautionary example
(2016-02-26)Background: While mathematical models are often used to predict progression of cancer and treatment outcomes, there is still uncertainty over how to best model tumor growth. Seven ordinary differential equation (ODE) models ... -
A retrospective study of long-term treatment outcomes for reduced vocal intensity in hypokinetic dysarthria
(2016-02-01)Background: Reduced vocal intensity is a core impairment of hypokinetic dysarthria in Parkinson's disease (PD). Speech treatments have been developed to rehabilitate the vocal subsystems underlying this impairment. Intensive ... -
Thermoregulated Coacervation, Metal-Encapsulation and Nanoparticle Synthesis in Novel Triazine Dendrimers
(2016-05-11)The synthesis and solubility behaviors of four generation five (G5) triazine dendrimers are studied. While the underivatized cationic dendrimer is soluble in water, the acetylated and propanoylated derivatives undergo ... -
Attractive Female Romantic Partners Provide a Proxy for Unobservable Male Qualities: The When and Why Behind Human Female Mate Choice Copying
(2016-05-31)Previous research indicates that women find men more desirable when they appear to be desired by other women than in the absence of such cues--an effect referred to as female mate choice copying. Female mate choice copying ...
